Is This Season Of 'Big Brother' The Most Racially-Charged Viewers Have Ever Seen?

As a super-fan of the show "Big Brother," I am very disappointed in this season.

If you aren't familiar with the show it is simply a game show where several people are stuck in a house together and they must compete in competitions to win special powers and one houseguest gets voted out each week.

It's like "Survivor" but in a huge house.

For the people who are fans of the show, they know that this season feels a bit different than others.

Usually, the house is divided into the traditionally "popular" people and the "outcasts", but this year it seems like the people of color are being targeted simply for being a different ethnicity than the Caucasian house guests.

When one houseguest has been chosen to be the "camp director" and has to choose four other houseguests to put up he chooses the only two African American people in the house, the plus-size Latina woman, and the older man. Coincidence? I think not.

If that doesn't scream discrimination I don't know what does.

For the superfans like me that stay up to date with the live feeds, there have been several clips floating around of one houseguest, Jack, saying the "n" word. There are other videos proving him making fun of other houseguests weight and even calling one houseguest a "brown flame". He seems to be the leader of the alliance Gr8ful who has been targeting people of different ethnicities. He has already forced the first weeks HOH Christie to target and send out Ovi, a houseguest who is Bangladesh–American, and when he won HOH the second week he sent home Kemi the last standing African American female in the house.

CBS seems to be covering this all up as well by making Jack seem like this likable houseguest when in reality he is quite the opposite.

We will see how the rest of this season plays out, but I will say that I hope that CBS will address this or at least do something about the blatant racism that is happening in the house.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
